I'm in college and recently I'm becoming really good friends with a Saudi Arabian student. He has a really inspirational story and we have similar passions about life. I know I will not fall in love with him or marry him. He cannot stay in America and I will never move to Saudi Arabia. We are really good friends and we've fooled around a couple times. I worry if I can handle having a fling if I know we'll never fall in love but we seem to be handling it well so far. Sometimes I wonder what it would be like to lose my virginity to him. If it would be a painful story or a cute and worldly one. He makes me feel safe and comfortable.

Anyway, in your case I would say it's normal and you shouldn't worry about him being foreign at all. You are obviously not in it for the sex only so why not put aside peoples' judgements and give it a try.
